History Film / SuperCop

* DistressedDamsel: May. The poster even has Kevin and Yang brandishing guns in action poses while poor May is BoundAndGagged off to the side.

* ImprovisedWeapon: Durians can be used as bludgeoning tools, apparently.

Originally known in Hong Kong as ''Police Story 3,'' it was renamed and released in the U.S. in 1995. Creator/JackieChan stars as Kevin "Supercop" Chan of the Royal Hong Kong Police, assigned to a dangerous mission for the DEA to stop a drug lord. His assignment takes him to mainland China, where he teams up with Captain Jessica Yang (Creator/MichelleYeoh), and the pair infiltrate the inner circle of the notorious Chaibat, bickering and kicking ass along the way.

* ActionGirl: Creator/MichelleYeoh (called Michelle Khan here) keeps up with Chan, doing her own death-defying stunts, including [[spoiler:riding a dirt bike onto a moving train]]. A stunt which, according to the outtakes in the credits, she had to do ''multiple times''

'''Kevin:''' ''[acting even more horrified]'' HSIUEN!!

** Yang, posing as Kevin's sister, responds to a slap from her "brother" by slapping him back and quoting the Chairman.

'''Kevin:''' ''[rubbing his face]'' Did Mao Tse-Tung really say that?!\\

* ContrivedCoincidence: Not only does May's tour group arrive in Kuala Lumpur the same day as an undercover Kevin and Yang, but they even end up at ''the same hotel''. You get the sense the filmmakers really wanted to use Creator/MaggieCheung beyond a simple cameo at the beginning, and had to strain to find a place for her in the plot due to most of the film taking place away from Hong Kong.

* DubNameChange: In keeping with what was established in the original ''Film/PoliceStory'' and ''Police Story 2'', both English dubs change Chan's given name from Ka-Kui to Kevin, and in the Miramax dub, Yang's from Chien-Hua to Jessica. Chaibat's brother Pao is renamed Panther in both.

** In a HilariousOuttakes, Jackie fell and accidentally hit Yeoh in her crotch. After crumpling in pain, she responds by [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments playfully punching him]].

* HilariousOuttakes: Always a staple of Jackie Chan films. Subverted in the painful-looking shots where Jackie is shown getting clocked by a helicopter rotor and then carried off (presumably to the ER), and Yeoh lands wrong on the hood of a moving car, then falls to the street--taking a crew member with her.

* PrisonerExchange: At the end, with Chaibat negotiating for his wife if Kevin wants May back.

* SuperCop: The title refers to Kevin. Its pretty much ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.

* ThanksForTheMammary: Jackie to Yang, though she wears BulletProofVest at the time. So it's not much, not to mention everyone thought they're siblings at the time.

* VillainsDyingGrace: Implied with the wife of the BigBad; even though is more than likely ''still'' sentenced to death when she gets handed back to the Thailand Authorities, she graciously gives Kar-Kui and Yang her Swiss Bank Account and its password as gratitude for saving her from falling off and being crushed by the speeding train on which the finale took place.

Michelle Yeoh would return to star in a standalone sequel, ''Film/SuperCop2'', reprisong her role as Inspector Yang. Jackie Chan shows up in that one as well, but only for a cameo.

%% * SuperCop:

* JurisdictionFriction: A local police force attempted to arrest Panther and his gang. This contradicts with Kevin and Yang's Interpol mission to track down Chaibat through Panther and thus they're forced to fight the local cops to protect Panther. The duo left Panther's gang members scattered or arrested by the local cops, however, so they only escaped with Panther.
